DALLAS, Ga., March 26 (U. P.).—Four long-term convicts at .Georgia’s prison camp for “hardboiled” prisoners lay in their . bunks today with broken legs. They inflicted the injuries on ‘themselves to avoid working in a rock quarry. Warden Arthur Clay said two of them stuck their legs under the footboard “of their double-decker bunks and slid off —twisting their legs until the bones gave way and fractured. The other two broke their legs by beating them with: stove wood. | N “This breaking of legs is a new racket to get out of work,” Warden Clay said. He said he had not heard of convicts doing that before although there had been unverified reports that some convicts' in Texas and Louisiana
